About this map

Angel Peak stands as a central landmark in this mid-1980s provisional study of the Spring Mountains, where the high-altitude landscape transitions from limestone ridges to deep desert drainages. The map reveals a high-elevation recreational and utility corridor established within the Toiyabe National Forest, evidenced by a concentration of sites like the Kyle Canyon Ranger Station, Hilltop Campground, and the Spring Mtn Youth Camp.

Resource extraction and transit history are visible in the northern reaches, where the Lucky Strike Mine sits near Lucky Strike Canyon, while a Single Wood Pole Power Line traverses the high ridges. Topographical features such as Robbers Roost Cave and the headwaters of North Fork Deer Creek provide specific points of interest for those tracking local land use before more modern developments. The map also delineates the Desert View Nat Environment Area, indicating early efforts in ecological preservation.
